4/28 Andronico's Outreach (Berkeley)

[Guest guest]

Cage-Free Outreach at Andronico's

 

Andronico's Market sells “battery eggs” – eggs from hens who are confined

indoors within battery cages, with as many as eight hens per cage. Recently,

East Bay Animal Advocates documented shocking conditions at the egg supplier for

Andronico's - NuCal Foods, Inc. The undercover footage (available at

http://www.cal-eggs.com) shows intensive confinement of chickens.

 

In an effort to raise the public’s awareness about the inhumane treatment of

hens raised for eggs, East Bay Animal Advocates on a weekly-basis is

distributing informative literature to Andronico's shoppers. Event information

for this week:

 

Friday, April 28

Time: 6 PM

Location: Andronico's, 1850 Solano Avenue, Berkeley

 

To advance the company’s commitment to excellence, EBAA is asking Andronico's to

adopt a cage-free egg policy. Several retailers, including Whole Foods Market

and Wild Oats Natural Marketplace, have already adopted policies to carry only

cage-free eggs.
